While getting pricing on a Laserjet IIP the other day, the dealer
suggested I consider the IBM Laserprinter E. The price was about the
same as the IIP, and it's claimed to be slightly faster and robust than
the HP. Further, options included a cheap upgrade to 10 ppm, an optional
500 sheet paper bin, and a cheap Postscript option.

My main intent for this printer is for running TeX output, and I don't
really expect to need the Postscript as long as the laserjet dvi driver
gives me what I need.

Does anyone have any comments on this cheap IBM printer? Or is it better
to play safe and stick with the HP?

Thank you.
